Dear Families & Friends of Fatima, What an eventful week we have had at OLoF! We were blessed to have Archbishop John Wester concelebrate Mass on Thursday with Fr. Steve and we were treated to the Archbishop’s company for the next three hours. He and Superintendent Susan Murphy visited with the principal (moi!), several teachers and classrooms, our entire elementary group in the cafeteria, some parents and then Fr. Steve again. Archbishop Wester who taught high school for several years in San Francisco is very interested in preserving Catholic education.

Dear Families & Friends of Fatima, Hope you are enjoying a nice, long weekend. Our teachers spent Friday at an inservice at Pius which was enjoyable. Archbishop Wester celebrated Mass with us as well. Speaking of Archbishop Wester, we are looking forward to his visit on Thursday starting with Mass at 8:15. This Mass will take the place of our Wednesday student Mass for this week and our students will be doing the readings and cantoring. As usual, Ms. Wilson will accompany us and lead the singing. You are welcome to attend. Archbishop Wester will visit our classrooms afterwards.

Dear Families & Friends of Fatima, Hope you are enjoying this beautiful, warm weekend day. Could be big changes tomorrow according to Mark Ronchetti whom my husband occasionally dismisses as “a fraud” because those predicted storms oftentimes miss us or get diffused. At any rate, if we are to heed this one, we may get snow or at least rain tomorrow night. Just keep in mind that we observe school delays and cancellations the same as Albuquerque Public Schools.
